Add a chore: who, how often, how many stars

Chores & allowance3 min read · updated October 2026

Chores are for kids. If there's no child in your family yet, add one first under Settings › Family. Beeside then suggests chores that fit their age.

  1. Open Chores. Each child has their own card.
  2. On the child's card, tap Add chore. The top of the form says “For Mia”: the child comes from the card.
  3. Under What needs to be done? enter a name, for example “Set the table”, and pick an Emoji.
  4. Set the Stars with minus and plus: 0 to 20, the default is 1.
  5. Under When choose Daily, Specific days, Monthly or Once. With “Specific days” you tap the individual days.
  6. Tap Add chore.

Good to know

  • Once stays open until it's done.
  • Monthly falls on the day of the start date. In shorter months it moves to the last day.
  • 0 stars is meant for chores that only earn allowance.
  • If you change stars or the amount later, chores already done keep their old value.
  • Existing chores save as you edit. You can delete one in the same sheet with Delete chore, and undo it right after.
